Description from the seller
This sale offers a collection of works from the studio of a Belgian painter, gathered over time as a result of his discoveries, encounters and affinities. The artists have often maintained a privileged link with the arts of the world: sensitive to the strength of forms, the simplicity of volumes and the expressiveness of materials, they were among the first to view these objects differently from mere curiosities. Their eye, naturally attentive to lines and balances, led them to collect these works and, at times, to draw inspiration from them. This collection thus bears witness to an intimate dialogue between artistic creation, the collector’s gaze and a fascination with forms from elsewhere.
